Rockford Public Schools (Michigan)
- Rockford Public Schools (Michigan)
The Rockford Public School system serves an area of approximately 100 square miles centered on Rockford, Michigan.
History
The modern school system was formed in the late 1950s by combining various neighborhood school systems.
Erwin J. Kleinert became superintendent in 1940 and was instrumental in consolidating into the Rockford Public Schools many of the one-room school districts which populated the rural area around Rockford. He remained as superintendent until 1962 when he became superintendent of the Kent County Intermediate School District. Mr. Kleinert's visionary leadership helped the school district to become one of the Michigan's most progressive as innovative programs for special-needs students, college-preparatory programs, and parent advisory boards were developed. These programs stimulated neighboring community school districts to emulate them and helped establish western Michigan as a vanguard in the educational reform which was to follow in the 1970's.
